Court Opinion on Ferry Rights and State Power in Bridge Case
The document surveys how 1786 and 1790 ferry grants faced later legislative limits in 1840 and 1819, arguing the legislature retains power to regulate ferry franchises and that county courts acted as its agents. It cites Wheeling and Belmont Bridge and Charles River Bridge decisions to support that no exclusive rights exist without explicit grant, and urges that public interests justify new ferry rights within reasonable distance.
